Goodness – these guys are fast workers. Today someone left a comment on the ppinomore thread to say the website had been taken down. Just a few hours later, someone left another comment saying they got the same text, claiming there were owed £3350, but the website has changed to http://youhaveppi.com. This site was registered on Oct 3 this year (2012) – 14 days ago.

Clearly PPI claims are a profitable business. The website owners are in Malaysia.

If you get a text from these people, with a new web address, please leave a comment below with the web address. The previous post is the most commented on post on this site, with people adding the phone numbers these scam merchants were using.

As I said on the previous thread, they can’t know how much you are owed for a PPI refund without you filling in the paperwork. Most of us are owed nothing – I never had PPI.

A little more research tells me that startppiclaim.com was also registered a few days ago to the same people.

If you get a similar text with a different domain name, let us all know. Leave a comment below with the domain name!

I received the £3350 message on my mobile. This sits in my car and is only answered by me if called when I am driving. The same applies with messages so I do not know when this one was posted.
I am arranging for a Voodoo circle to put a curse on these people so they will be gradually eliminated.
I am amazed that they think, in their feeble mindedness, that we will be taken in by this. My suggestion to them, while they have the chance before the curse takes effect, to text their fellow countrymen in Malasia.

allways check suspicious e-mails and messages out before making any contact.remember to allways look a gift-horse in the mouth and chec k his sharp teeth.! ! dont let him or her!!1 take a bite outa! you!!!!!!!

got mine at 04.58am this morning, I have £4150 to get off a ppi I have never had. I get about 3 a day from different numbers, have done since my car was stolen in April, think my insurance Trinity Lane have sold my number as I never had any until they got my number

Received the text about being owed £4150 for missold PPI at MIDNIGHT so not happy! Number was 07879 478585. Funnily enough received almost exactly the same text two days ago but with a different web address. I’ve reported to ICO – let’s hope something can be done about these bloomin’ annoying con artists!!

Have had about 5 a week for a month or so from PPI and Debt write-off companies, various numbers which I have blocked on my mobile, they have now upped my amount from the £3350 mentioned by everybody to £4150 in the last week, on +447881221514. We have never had PPI or debt. Husband having same problem and rang someone on 01902440181 (but not sure if it was www:youhaveppi) who sounded very understanding and helpful and was going to send us a claim pack before the call got terminated by us fearing a scam and high premium phone bill. How do they get our mobile numbers? Anyone know where 01902 is based? Tell all your friends, these scammers are so convincing and with austerity stresses lots of ordinary people wish they could land a windfall of a few thousand, and the idea of getting back at the banks who largely caused all this mess is also very appealing.

I must be very popuar – getting at least one a day. The latest number to come
up is 4478812208 and they reckon Im owed £4180 – I should be so lucky, lucky
lucky lucky, I should be so……………… and just before Christmas too
Have a good everybody, especially if your claim pays up…..

i received one last night from 078812208820 im owed £4150!..i just typed in ppi and this is what came up!!to opt out txt stop to the number above!!..im not goin to risk it in case its a high rate nmbr!!

Have had the £3350 texts before they’re now telling me its £4150 and to look on their website www. youhavegotppi.com. Should I reply by STOP or will they go away soon – I mistakenly replied to them once to see what they had to say but am now plagued with calls from an electronic voice from time to time but I always hang up so don’t get to the end to see if there’s a way to stop it permanently – their number is +44 7881220248

I get endless VERY annoying text of the sort,the very last one being from +447780471622 “URGENT,you are owed £3350 for the PPI you took” I never took PPI so to me I knew it is scam – the email address is http:youhaveppi.com -message received 26/10/12.

if i am correct this scam ought to come before the courts it would seem that the message i rec was like many more £3.350 how in gods name do they come to that figure i would truly like to meet up with these people wearing a pair of steel toecap boots i can assure you i know where to put them

Who are you I keep getting these text messages on my mobile phone saying that I am owed £3350 for PPI I took out and time is running out to claim.As I believe this to be a con I have chose to ignore these texts as I HAVE HAD NO CORRESPONDANCE WITH YOU how can you say what I am owed,Please state your company name as I already have a company based in WALES, Supposedly looking into such claims whose name at present escapes me and I do no seem to any paper work to phone them as to their progress, are you them? please enlighten me my Tel No. is (removed)

I’ve just received a text saying am owed £3350 on my dongal stick which isn’t even a mobile just a sim card which proves it’s the biggest con goin. My friend is waiting for a check off PPI for £2300, she’s been waiting for weeks but no check so far.

My friend has had the same text message and as she has had credit cards and a loan in the past she entered her info and then the screen went blank once she submitted. Now worried as her info was put in.
I have also had the same text messages sent through!
Hate scam artists

couple years a go i was hit by a car it was a hit and run murderer who did try to kill me ,so last night one of your staff did text me and he was requesting me time is runnig out and to claim the compensation i have to reply urgent i have owed £3350 for the PPI i took which i did it today.Thanks .

I therefore look foward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely.

My wife received the same text yesterday with this return number *447867360289.
She has never had a loan in her own name. Presumably these people make money from the return text asking to be taken off a list.

Just received a text from youhaveppi for the same sum, £3350. Do they randomly fire off texts as my number is pay as you go and only listed for my bank, paypal etc. bit worrying. Wouldn’t mind a holiday in Malaysia so I could collect my £3350 personally.

I got the same message as all the others today, 29 October. Saying that it was URGENT because time was running out, and asserting that I had been mis-sold PPI to the tune of- wait for it..£3,350…yes, indeed!!

I recivied txt message thu 25 octobre 2012.the number was +447771632537 URGENTN you are owed £3350 for the ppi you took out, time is running out to claim, please visit http:/ /youhaveppi.com to claim,thank you. To opt out reply STOP.
i found this very unlikely as have no credit cards or loans so was curious as to what it was about.

Same message – same amount £3350 – sent from +447867568569. Second message today. Getting these daily. Really annoying – especially when we’ve already organised our own PPI refund without any 3rd party help!

As with all calls and emails from people you do not recognise, do not reply and do NOT press the button to STOP emails/messages as these might send you to an auto connect to a high premium rate number or phishing site.

Hi I had 3 texts saying I was owed £3350 to claim go to http:// youhaveppi.comtoclaim from this number +447867367564 & www. ppinomore.com from this number +447769344828 & one that says just reply CONFIRM they will call you straight back from this number 07781475035.

I had a txt on my phone and laptop from 447788285749 on 18/10/2012 saying i was owed three thousand three hundred and fifty pounds on ppi ive not had a credit card or loan for years,ide love to know how thet get our information,any ideas.

why doesn’t this filthy thieving low life load of money grabbing scum crawl away and die in the worst and most painful manner possible, people please don’t answer there commands just deleat. i am sick to death of being pestered by them, may they rot in hell.

I keep getting these. whatever you do dont ever reply to spam sms as you will be charged for overseas sms etc. also i am on the 3 network so I just forwarded the spam message to 3network to 37726. I just done this sent the spammers tel no and just had reply saying that they aim to have number blocked..lets hope that does the trick!

Same message – can’t be true, I’ve never knowingly taken out ppi, and after reviewing my financial history, not unknowingly, either. But my message came from 447788264065, it seems thy’re using auto-dial from multiple numbers.
Best advice: IGNORE & DELETE!

My 10 yr old daughter go a ppi message saying she was owed £3350 she’s not even
old enough to have ppi.
scam if i ever heard 1 +447867366938 was the number, wouldn’t put it past orange to sell your number on

Same text and same amount as everyone else, received today, @ 20.20hrs. No. +447867317445. Im on Orange Mobile – are all mobile networks getting these texts and yes where are they getting our numbers from. Has anyone opted out by replying STOP. Sometimes these texts can cost a fortune to reply to.

I don’t know for certain Lorraine, but my gut feeling is that these people are making money from people who reply with STOP. I could be wrong. They are sending from so many different numbers that I can’t imagine that replying will actually stop them! As to how they are getting numbers, again my gut feeling is that they aren’t – it isn’t hard to make up random numbers. They only need to know the prefix (for example 07xxx), the rest is just random I expect.

I got the text today too. Apparently they think £3,350 is the magic number! The text came from +44 7867 317298. I haven’t texted ‘STOP’ as I heard they can get money from your phone account once they realise they’ve reached an actual mobile. Think it’s a random number generator or something but the http:/youhaveppi.com has to be a scam

I got a text from 07780471622 that says>
URGENT you are owed £3350 for the PPI you took out, time is running out to claim, please visit http:/ /youhaveppi.com to claim, thank you. To opt out reply STOP.
how do they get the number? just random ones??

Had a text from them today saying I’m owed £3,350 in PPI. Bit impossible since I’ve never had a credit card or loan!!!
Fed up of all these scams… The number was 07867 368703 stating I should check out website http: //youhaveppi.com
Hope no-one gets caught out by this!

Received the following txt on the 25th Oct. from +44 7867 472480
URGENT you are owed £3350 for the PPI you took out, time is running out to claim, please visit http: //youhaveppi.com to claim, thank you. To opt out reply STOP.

I received text today from +447787446160 advising I was owed £3350, l am usually very cautious on line when giving details so would be interested to find out how they got my number, I have deleted message

Got one of these from +447788209043 on 18 oct saying I’m owed 3350.today decided to investigate as my niece who deals with pip claims said she had sent me something so thought it must be from her. Fortunately you waylaid me.Thanks. Is it safe to click on stop to opt out?

As per Neil Robertson, I have had the same message from the same number this afternoon. Strange thing is that I got a message from 07810551435 on 16th Sept to say that I was owed £2130 and now I am owed £3350. Also, on 3rd Sept, the message was from 07989107712 and at that time I was owed £3500. I have never taken out PPI and just ignore the messages.

All those owed £3350 are as lucky as me obviously because I have been informed the same, never having had a loan or mortgage for the last twenty years. the number thatleft a message was +447818400551. Where do they get my number from?

Had the following message from 07867 367112 – URGENT you are owed £3350 for the PPI you took out, time is running out to claim, please visit http:/ /youhaveppi.com to claim, thank you. To opt out reply STOP

I had a text this morning from this number; 07780471622, saying I had £3350 of unclaimed ppi claim. Within the message is a link to http:/ /youhaveppi.com

Obviously a scam as I never took out any ppi.
Watch out as they ask for personal details which will no doubt be hard to scam or identity fraud you in the future.
If the site is based in Malaysia how are the numbers uk based.
Surely the police or other agencies can trace them and shut them down burning all their equipment in the process.

Same old scam from +447818400551, barefaced liars, I don’t know how they sleep at night.
I guess they must just pick blocks of numbers starting with a known provider “area code” and work through all the numbers?

I received the same ppi text this morning from 07585 004753. I believe I have been misssold ppi, but I used my card so rear that the amount charged would not be more than £100 but the text claimes I could claim £3350. Keep away from these scamming texts.

I have just received exactly the same as everyone else. I’ve just deleted the text so I don’t have the number.
No one has mentioned on here though whether you have to text STOP back or just delete it and ignore it?

I received a text at 10am from 44 7867 317298 saying URGENT you are owed £3350 for the PPI you took out, time is running out to claim, please visit youhaveppi.com. I’m one of those who never took out PPI.

BUT
+447879033643
+44777586307
This more specific one is more convincing, and of greater danger (!):
“We have been trying to contact you about your PPI CLAIM, we still have £2308.34 in your name waiting to be sent to you. To get it today reply …etc”

AND
+447867361580
“Due to new legislation, those struggling with debt can now apply to have it written off, For more information text the word ‘INFO’ or opt our text stop.”

AND
+447867330963
“We have been trying to contact you regarding your accident” (yes they have: several silent calls received), “we now have details of how much you are due, just reply CLAIM and we will post you a pack out.”

I’m contacting Orange to see if I can have this crowd stopped, or worse. Make sure, anyone similarly afflicted, that you are not charged for mobile calls!

How do these people get my mobile number?
Received text at 13.32 today – urgent you are owed £3350 for the ppi you took out, time is running out to claim, please visit http:/ /youhaveppi.com to claim. thank you. To opt out reply STOP

Yep… been receiving these texts for over a year now from various numbers… latest one being +447780458447 . The messages to send ‘stop’ to stop these texts but I dont think that will work, plus i will probably be charged £1.50 for sending ‘stop’ . Message read: URGENT you are owed £3350 for the PPI you took out, time is running out to claim. please visit htp://youhaveppi.com to claim….

Received today at about 3pm despite being registered against such calls.
I would be be pleased to support any prosecution against these goons. Their tel no 447584436916
Also received one from same web site on tel No 447769647011 a little earlier in the day. If BT are facilitating these calls they should be prosecuted as well.
These are to my mobile. How do they get the numbers? What is the point of the Data Protection legislation. When did you last see a reported successful prosecution by this useless organisation.?

I too got one of these and new it was a scam unfourtunatly my phone has a ‘roller’ so you can shcroll down your messages and by mistake i pressed it I quickly pressed it again and wrote STOP and sent it hope that will be the end of it – I’m guna change this ‘b’ phone keep making mistakes on it – this one I can do without I wish these poeple would just ‘p’ off once and for all

My wife had a recent text saying she was owed £3350 ppi There’s only 1 possibility of her having paid this on a loan about 10 years ago (which she paid off in full early).
Sounds like a scam to me!
Any reply gratefully received.

Never had PPI in my life -and will not reply ‘opt out’ to ‘STOP’ as then they know they have an active phone number to bombard me with calls about it!

I am fed up with these moronic retards, whom if I could gather them up like rubbish on my floor and put them in a quarry and stone them, I would gladly do that, but I am also fed up with the phone providers and I am about to leave Vodafone, because the stated that they would block ALL FURTHER premium numbers coming to me phone only three days ago, and they have failed miserably to do so. I threatened that I would

Good new for me because I have never had ppi. hahaha.

Just received same “…..time is running out for £3350 payout… !
Number used :- +447810544350.I suspect these people also hack into victims’ phones.They always text me soon after I make a card payment for a loan.I am changing my number.

URGENT you are owed £3350 for the PPI you took out, time is running out to claim, please visit http:// youhaveppi.com to claim, thank you. To opt out reply STOP. This was from +44 7788 264065 at 7:44pm today – know it’s spam as I work for a bank so never took ppi out !

Forwarded to T-Mobile spam blocking service on 7726 (S-P-A-M) – that SMS number is used by most of the UK mobile operators, so you can all just go ahead and forward the spam and make your telco’s day 🙂

Nota Bene: IANAL, but as I understand it, the fact that the SMS doesn’t use words such as “you may be eligible for” and instead makes a definitive statement that one *IS* owed a specific sum [£3,350] pushes this out of the realm of misrepresentation and mere marketing dodginess into the realms of outright fraud.

Surprisingly I have received yesterday and today two different ppi claim advocates with numbers 07879345784 and 07867367112 and one with website www. youhaveppi.com for claims of £2130 and £3350 respectively..though I heck credits cards but I trust this is a hoax and doesn’t worth wasting my time for.

Urgent you are owed £3350 for the PPI you took out, time is running out to claim, please visit http: //youhaveppi.com to claim, thank you. To optout reply STOP from 447788274528
DO you type in STOP or will it open you up to all sorts of problems

I recieved a text message today from +447867361580 stating that I was owed £3350 funny that but I have never taken anything on loan that required PPI reading all the above the sumowed seems to be rather consistant

Recieved txt yetserday saying I was owed £3350 for PPI i took out but I have never taken any out ! It advised me to contact http:/ /youhaveppi.com to claim
I was going to report it to Police but I am advised that they are inundated.

I got a txt from +44 7867 472480 today at 18:53 GMT with that very same “Urgent…” msg. I knew it was a scam instantly as Ive NEVER had PPI on anything. The amount was the same as everyone else and the website was also http:/ /youhaveppi.com.

I have had several from this company http: //youhaveppi.com/. Got one today at 7.36.pm, followed by a phone call at 7.47.pm linked to a voice message asking me to dial them back on the number given in the text.
Number was. . I have received several text, always allowing me to respond with STOP. No point as they change the number and repeat their tactics. Where do they get our numbers from..? Is there anything that can be done to stop them ?
